ICT

Our modern world relies on the use of computers in all areas of our lives: from super computers in CERN collecting enormous amounts data to sensors in a toaster that knows if the bread is frozen. Access to the web has made authors and critics of us all. We can contribute, collaborate, create, criticise and innovate with just a few clicks of a mouse.

At The Dixie, students become critical users of ICT. They learn to judge where there is bias, what is plausible and what we can trust. Students evaluate their own work and the work of others. They explore a whole range of uses of ICT including:

Creation of a range of documents, both electronic and printed for a range of purposes and audiences

Searching and selecting information through searching the web and large datasets
